    Ram truck question

    I have never owned a Ram but a recent thread got me interested.

    As I am looking at the specs I don't see anything about a transmission cooler. Does the 1500 have one or is it an option?

    Any vehicle with an automatic trans is going to have a trans cooler, most are built into the radiator. If you get a truck with a towing package, it may have an auxiliary cooler mounted in front of the radiator as well, or a bigger one built into the radiator.

    I've owned a lot of trucks and my 14 ram is my favorite also. There is some things I don't like, but overall it's really been a good truck. Don't want to start a debate, but a little turbo charged gas motor is for grocery getting not towing. You can't shed weight and increase tow wieght. There is no replacement for displacement!

    I look at an auxillary transmission as the cheapest insurance you ever pay. My TruCool on my 3/4 ton diesel was only $150 and it took just 30 minutes to install.

    My 14 has one. Part of the two package for sure but you may be able to get it in other packages as well.
